LOCAL MYSTERY SOLVED
The finding of the lady's hand ancl

solved when it became known that
over a year ago a local student oi*
medicine at Ann Arbor brought the
members home for dissecting and
study purposes. Some time after tho
study was completed they were wrapped and stored in the family garage.
In the recent spring-clean up "everything went to the dump" and this parcel was included.

OLD CLARE PRESS
FOUND IN LOG
HOUSERECENTLY
Mrs. Jas. Thompson of Sheridan Finds Paper Dated
September 13, 1878
A Clare Press undeT- date of September 13, 1878, which was used as
chinking in an old log house, was
found recently by Mrs. Jas. Thompson, of Sheridan township, when the
building was torn down.
The paper announces the holding
of a Republican convention at Far-
well on September 7th in which the
officers chosen were temporary chairman, W. W. Green, President, W. A.
Carpenter, and Secretary, W. A. Carpenter. The committee on credentials consisted of A. W. Mclntyre, A.
Stockwell and R. M. Shumway.
Among the local mentions Mrs. Geo
W. Halstead was ill with typhoid
-fever.
A son was born the previous Tuesday to  Mr. and  Mrs. Wm. Wolskey,
Rev. Louis Piper attended the conference of his church.
Mrs. A. Beebe returned Monday
from a visit witli friends in the southern part of the state.
Henry Holbrook took a pleasure
trip to St. Louis last week. He rather
admires St. Louis.
C. W. Perry returned Tuesday from
a visit with friends at Atlas, Genesee
county.
The paper carried the advertisements of Jefferies Grocery and Meat
Market. J. C. Rockfellow, Dry Goods;
A. M. Ervey ' boots and shoos; S.
Bowdish, druggist and medicines, Burton Husl.au, cigars aud tobaccos;
and several other pioneer businessmen of Clare and Farwell.
The paper, which was a forerunner
of The Sentinel, was published by
GoodenoufUi and Wilson as Editors.
NO CRIMINAL CASES
ON JUNE CIRCUIT
COURT CALENDAR
Majority of Matters Involved
Were Carried Over From
March Session
The Methodist Auxiliary on Wednesday last had one of their treats of
the year when the ladies met in the
church parlors and had as guests the
members of the Ladies,Aid to celebrate Tulip Day. The parlors were
tastefully decorated and all tables
were pleasingly set with choice china-
ware and tulip table centers.   '
Mrs: E. H. Sternaman was the hostess and arranged the occasion L_ the
delight of all attending.
After a meal that displayed real
culinary art the ladies were more
than entertained by the new district
superintendent, the Rev. Victor H.
Thrall, D. D., of Big Rapids, who
gave a dramatic reading of that
charming character Dr. McClure, as
recorded in the pages of Ian Mac
Laren's popular book "Beside The
Bonnie Briar Bush".
MacLaren has helped us to see
Scottish life through his books in
.prose as Robert Burns did in his*
poetry. One could appreciate this
doctor of the old school as one-
visualized his visits in the glen of
Drumtochfy.
Dr. Thrall's   ability   to   dramatise
the deeply emotional scenes   of   the
- story was much in evidence and made
a day that will not soon bo forgotten.

Library Notes
Hot weather is hard on tires. Protect yourself   with   Goodyear   tiitest Goodman lor
from H. J. Foster, Clare.—adv.
I

The City Library is doing a great
deal, in the way of directing the children's reading into the right channels and so—influencing and enrich-,
ing their lives. For the most part,
the children's shelves are equipped
with only the best of literature for
children.
These books are attractive because
they are bright and colorful as children's books should be with a pleasing picture on the out-side to Convey
the central interest of the story—
stories of the Earth, the Sky, the Sea,
Indian lore and stories of the explorers—thus establishing an appreciation of good literature.
I asked one of our rural teachers
who has been a frequent visitor of
our library this year, what, if any
benefit, it had been to him. His reply was that he could scarcely have
had such a successful year, had it
not been for the helpful books, he
found on our shelves—books on History, Geography, Science and English, which he used from the first
grade up.
We  are  grateful for  the generous
response to our call for books and to
Mrs.  F,  Hochstetler  and Mrs.  Fred
magazines.
Tho Librarian.
First, we are all happy to learn
that "Ted" who underwent an operation at St. Mary's Hospital for appendicitis is slowly improving and
trust he will be back to Tee off with
as in" the first tournament, soon to
take place.
Well a golf ball isn't very big—
rather an insignificant looking item;
a brassie, nja,shie or putter doesn't
look half as affective as a ball bat,
and to one used to playing baseball,:
volley ball or basket ball—golf,
casually speaking does not look
half as interesting." And yet—say
isn't it amusing when the fever of the
old game once lays hold. of one of
those fellows,
While getting my chin polished in
one of the local barber shops a season age—I was amused to hear a certain merchant in our fair city state):
something like this, "I don't see much
to the game, if there was some one
down on the green trying to keep
your ball from going into the cup it
would appear it. would make* the*
game more interesting but when (get
this) all you have to do is to drive
your ball down the "fairways" and
once on the green, "sink it" why, anyone can do that".
Well if any of you fans happen to
see "Mike" Elden, no hat on" shirt
unbuttoned, shoes unlaced, hair urn
combed, sort of hysterical look in his
eye, breathlessly pecking his way
around "Twin Elms" before breakfast, after supper or while he should
be singing in the village choir—Think
nothing of it—He is O. IC but has the
fever and is trying to do It—and yet
you birds playing in the 40's take
warning as this new golfer is going:
to hustle you to your position in tho
tournaments before the season is over.
Oh yes, speaking oil tournaments,
yes players of "Twin Elms" tako
warning herewith and pass the word
along to others—Sunday, June 3rd
has been set aside by the president
E. G. Johnston as the date for your
qualifying score. Every entrant will
register his name witli C. C. Harris or
Jesse Hampton prior to Saturday
night, make known whether a twosome or foursome, play, play any
time Sunday ancl leave their card in t)
box that will be arranged at the Club
House for the purpose. Thus will the
committee, next week arrange and
make known the pairing of contestants for the annual flag tournament
which has been slated for Sunday,
June 10th at "Twin Elms".
In the past this event has been one
of the outstanding of the season so
altogether, "Let's Go"—sign on the
dotted line and be a participant in
this affair.
Lunches and dinners, etc, will bo
served as usual in the new   spacious
club rooms and we'll be    seein' you.

Led by the city high school band,
attired in their bright green capes
and caps, some 50 World War Vets
marched to the high school where
some 200 children joined the parade
to Cherry Grove cemetery.
There, the Rev. Lockyer, chaplain
of the Post, gave the invocation, the
band played an excellent number, after which Carl Smith, a Veteran from
Bay City, mounted the bunting draped truck and for 30 minutes held the
largest crowd ever assembled on-
such an occasion here, spellbound
with the wonderful message he so
ably delivered.
Another selection by the band, the
usual salute by the firing squad and
taps, So perfectly blown by Harry
Wehrly, band instructor, ended the
short, but well enjoyed program.
The Committee, Omer Parent, Wm.
Harger and Wilbur Ireland, appointed
by Commander Hall, had earlier dec-,
orated the soldiers graves with flags
and sincerely trust that none were
missed but wish to state herein, it
there were, it is because no record io
made on then* plat and should anyone
reading this article know of an omission they will greatly oblige the Post
if such be made known to any of the
members at once.
The Post wishes to thank all participants on this occasion, especially
the teachers who took part in making
it a success, the band and Mr.
Wehrly, also the Spanish war veterans present. It is remarkable that
we can still boast of three of the old
buddies, still with us in this community, Mr. W. N. Younglove, John Ford
and Jacob Mason and unitedly we
wish them the best of health and happiness during' the ensuing year.

Misunderstanding about the time ol
payment to farmers on the corn-hog
contracts should . not cause Clare
county farmers to prejudice thei. _
claims to benefit payments by planting land to crops not permitted under
the contract, according to Paul D.
Gibson, County Agr"l Agent.
Too much optimism about the
speed with which the contracts could
be handled led to a misunderstanding
about the time of payments. Another
factor which caused confusion was
the intention of federal authorities to
make early payments in some counties where the • need was greatest.
With the best intentions in the
world,-it is impossible to make immediate payments on hundreds of
thousands of contracts-.
BenefiH payments are made only
ai"te£ the contracts have been" approved in Washington. Some checks
have been mailed to regions where
there was extreme need, due to crop
failures. The Clare county allotment
committee does not believe that
farmers here wish to have their dates
of payment based upon the assumption of dire need, and, perhaps, by
this action postpone payment in districts where farmers are actually in
need of life's necessities.
Payments on hog contracts are
made in three installments. The first
installment is two dollars per head
on 75 per cent of the average number of hogs marketed in the past two
years. A farmer who sold an average of -12 hogs per year would gel
$18, minus his share of . local expenses as soon as the contracts are
approved in Washington. The sec-'
ond payment, to be made this fall,
will be $9.00 a,nd the third check,
paid next spring if the contract terms
have been met, will be $18.00.
The. three payments wili total $46
minus a small amount for local expenses, to the Clare county farmer
who has had avearge sales of 12 hogs
per year in the past two years. Those*
who bave sold greater or • smaller
numbers will receive proportionate-
